The Russell Group is a self-selected association of 24 public research universities in the United Kingdom. Through world-class research and education, they are helping to create a dynamic economy, stronger communities and a better future for the UK.

Results

We deployed a multi factor authentication (2FA) solution, called Freja eID, to help a Russell Group University to improve security, and prevent unauthorised user access to sensitive data.

GDPR compliant

Thanks to Freja’s handling of data, which gives “the user the power to give or withdraw consent at every opportunity and interaction”.

Digital transformation

An e-identification platform is a vital tool in any business’ toolkit, when going digital.

Challenge

One of the Russell Group’s Universities required a multi-factor authentication solution to ensure that sensitive data could only be accessed by its students and employees. They brought us, and our partner Verisec (International IT security specialists) in to help.

Plan

The university needed an e-identification solution that was highly secure, scalable and GDPR compliant. Verisec’s Freja eID – a secure platform that provides a digital identity for users – was exactly what they needed.

Approach

Freja eID is simple and quick to deploy.

Outcome

Freja ID has opened the doors for the Russell Group University to create new services that are founded on secure, encrypted and traceable communications.

Having a secure authentication platform gives the university the opportunity to start using tools like secure messaging and e-signing, which can support and enhance many other university services.

Verisec has for several years aided UK municipalities with secure logins and solutions.  The opportunity to contribute to the University’s digitisation is a great success for us. The new agreement became a reality by the assistance of one of our British partners. We look forward to being able to attract more universities and institutions in the public sector, in both the UK and other countries, in the future.
